Getting there

These directions will also take u to restbay-Leave M4 motorway at Junction 37, and take A4229. (This bears of left and south westerly from the M4 for traffic coming from the east, but traffic coming from the west will have to go under the underpass. 2) At first roundabout on A4229 take exit marked A4229, and loop south and eastward of Cornelly village to next roundabout east of the village, and follow A4229 away eastwards from this roundabout junction. 3) Travel east along A4229 for about 2 miles, following the road as it swings south and down to the next roundabout. 4) At this roundabout take the exit that goes west up a little hill to NOTTAGE. At the top of the little hill turn left on to FULMAR ROAD. 5) Follow Fulmar Road south westwards for about a mile to its end, then a left turn back eastwards into MALLARD WAY. 6) Going eastward along Mallard Way you will see houses on your left, an open common on your right stretching down to the sea. You will come to a hairpin bend junction, at which you should make the hairpin turn back up north westwards up WEST DRIVE and across the common. 7) Crossing the common, with the sea out to your left, you will see the big house at the end of the road.

left and right works best at high tide but local restbay needs to be at 5ft or so for coney to work but good for longboarders.
